arch-index-orient

arch-index-orient is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mathiasbourgoin/roster. It costs 20 tokens per session (282 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only orientation tool that queries a SQLite call graph and symbol index to show which code elements call or are called by others. A call graph is a map of these relationships.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for finding callers, callees, definitions, heavily used symbols, and paths between code elements during codebase research.
Why use it?
It helps developers locate related code before investigating a change or defect. It also reports when the index may be out of date compared with the latest Git commit.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

arch-index-orient scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 27d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (orient.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

arch-index-orient

Run bash orient.sh <callers|callees|fan-in|definition|path> [symbols] from the project root. A successful result starts with an index freshness header, then a JSON array. callers and callees list observed resolved edges, fan-in counts distinct observed callers, definition lists matching function rows, and path shows one observed resolved path of at most 20 edges. Results are capped at 10 rows; unresolved targets and MAY_TOP are not expanded. An empty array means no observed result, never proof of absence.

The shared adapter supports arch-index CMT main-schema versions 1.15–1.18 only. It checks callgraph_contract=v1, arch_index_cmt producer runs with sound_with_top, row-level provenance, and edge kinds. Missing or unsupported data exits 3 before the freshness header. Heuristic LSP indexes are unsupported. The DB is opened read-only; this skill does not refresh it.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
